The Easter Anniversary

"up w? u-Qyp my“

Easter, as commemorating the central fact of .1he Christian religion, has always been regarded In the chief festival of the Christian year. From early times it has been observed with special kvlemnity- Nature, awakening from the sleep oi lwinter, participates in the joyousness of the jvccasion, and the flowers of the field find ap- propriate place in the decoration oi the churches. The Plaster message, like that oi Christmas, l5 ;one essentially oi joy and glarlness. With these feelings naturally are associated thankfufness and gratitude for manifold blessings, which we too oiten take for granted.

It is fitting that on this occasion music should play a large part in religious observances. Man does not live by bread alone, nor is his spiritual need satisfied by sermons, however edi g and

necesary these may be to the ritual of xvorshirr The special music in our churches tomorrow, therefore. is not something supplementary to the

'1 t

services. ""1? a means oi emrW/wns and aaoirations in t.» . that human genius ha devised.

The Patriot's Taunt

Our contemporary taunts its party members who criticised Government expenditure in the Legislature with the fact that they failed t0 exercise their privilege of moving that the 8010111125 be reduced in the Estimates. Every item, it says, passed unanimously.

“by? Because not being officially in oppo- sition, those members who shmved where thous- ands of dollars were being wasted on one item Ilone-—that of Falconworxl Farm——\vould be “on 3h: spot" if they pushed their objections too far- As Mr. jones said, “I well know what it would mean to move anything-to condemn anything." This is a striking example of how the public administration is stiffcring for lack of a fearless opposition party in the House The system

in their ampugn.

What has happened since? that the other day Cuba announced new tzrifi regulations with Canada, cutting in two the rates charged against Canadian commodities but laving still prohibitive the rates on table potat- oes and fish. _ ‘

The table potato rates formerly in eflect were $8 per 22o pounds between June 3o and Nov. 1, and from $10 from November to June. These rates are now cut to $4 and $5 respectively, but at the same time the tariff on United Statestable stock remains unchanged a1 $2 per 22o pounds, a differential which, as the St- john Telegraph- Joizrnal observes, it is practically impossible u; overcome-

\\'ord from Nova Scotia is to the eflect that the tariff reduction on fish is likely to be no more effective than that on potatoes, so the Blaritime Provinces can gain little in the way of encouragement from the Cuban-King Govern- ment arrangement.

\\’l1at is the matter with our Maritime Liberal representatives, any-svay?

The outlook this year generally is for an in- creased crop of wheat. Reports from Europe refer to greater acreage and, given a little bettei weather, western Canada this year should show a substantial increase over last. For that rea- son theuheat and flour markets have been bare- ly holding steady although there are the oc- casional ups and downs-

U U i l Anmuncemhent is made by Canadian com- panics of binder twine prices for the coming summer scason- In eastern Canada the new prices are I-2c- a pound lower than 1937 prices, in each of the three grades. It is interesting

created by the Campbell Government is one oi dictatorship, pure and simple, with the weapon, of political patronage in the Government's hands , to bring recalcitrant supporters to heel. It is. essential for the public to know this, and to‘, realize the price that has to be paid for currying [ favours at the Government's hands. E

Probably it was for this reason that both .\lr. l Jones and Mr- Hughes, who v-oicerl pretty strong ’ criticism in the Budget debate, absenterl them-l selves from the House when the Estimates were ‘i being passed- That doesn't relieve them of the i responsihilitja of being consenting parties, as our contemporary pointedly suggests; but it is sig- nificant as indicating their attitude to the party bosses.

Hon. Mr. Campbell's Speech

lion. john A. Campbell left only one thing unsairl in his speech on the budget, reported in Thursday's issue. He should have called on the rest of his colleagues to resign. Obviously they are either incompetent or unwilling to legislate in the interests of the common people- He ad- mits that he himself is “incriminatcd" by being a member of such a crew, and unfortunately we all have to be judged by the company we keep. But it takes courage to make open confession after the manner of Mr- Campbell's perform- ance, handicapped as he was by having to spcnl-a from the Government benches, amid the dour looks of his associates in rriisrule. Like Chapman in Keats’ sonnet, Mr. Campbell spoke out “loud and bold.” He liewed to the line. To change the metaphor to one more suited to_thc occupation Mr. Campbell follows with legitimate pride, he plowed a straight furrow, deviating neither to the right nor to the left to reconcile his revela- tions with his party's election platform, or the statements of those who preceded him with elab- orate apologics and excuses.

Sidestepping Responsibility

domeone in the Legislature should protest against the manner in which public bills, such u the Act respecting lobster dealers and the amendments to the Fish and Game Act, are al- lowed to be introduced by private members. and discussed irresponsibly by Government mCmlW-YB as if they were private bills-

In the case of the lobster dealers’ bill, it is proposed to levy taxation and such a measure should properly be sponsored by the _Premier _or some of his cabinet. The same principle applies to the Fish and Game Act, which is listed among the Public Acts in the 1937 statutes thnugh promoted last year by Ml’. H. H- COX. a private member, who also rnovcrl the amend- ments to the Act this year!

These bills‘ proved to be of a controversial nature. But that i1 no excuse for the Govern- ment "passirLg theh fickz: and aldestepping re- Qpqnfbili t r- ox. - .

In pursuance of his plan to combat juvenile: delinquency, Sir Samuel Hoare, British Home Secretary, plans to establish in Suffolk a Borstal “univcrsity" with five "colleges" spaced over 1,300 acres of agricultural land- The Borstal system takes its name from the village of Bor- stal in Kent, where in the middle of the nine- teenth century reformatory experiments were carried out in an old convict prison on boys be- tween the ages of 16 and 21. Sir Samuel, in the Ilouse of Commons. said it had been found, iluring efforts to increase self-reliance and a feeling of responsibility in Borstal boys there was more success if they were rlcrilt with in small groups. The "tmiversity," which will be at Holleslcy Bay, where what used to be a London County Council center for unemployed has been taken over, is to have no high walls around the grounds but will be left open t0 the general country. The “pupils" will get just what the Home Secretary says they need-a lot of exercise, a lot of work and not too strict super- vision. The five collcges will accommodate 30o boys- Children from “broken homes" are to be boarded out with foster parents instead of be- ing sent to an institution. a n- n:

For the first time in the history of the Un- ion of South Africa, when the Parliament was opened on Feb. 11, instead of the usual “God Save the King" being played and sung, the band struck up "Die Stem Suid Afrika”,——"'l'lte Voice of South Africa." In explaining the innova- tion General Hertzog, the Prime Minister, said

and that "anyway ‘God Save the King’ has never played any part in the national life of South Africa" The Cape Town correspondent of The London Daily Telegraph comments: “The Prime Minister admitted that five mem- bers of the Government party-the United Party —-called on him following his statement, Re- garding questions which they asked, General Hertzog said: ‘After I had fully replied, the members of the delegation expressed them- selves as completely satisfied with the position.’ It is generally felt in responsible circle: that quite unnecessary alarm has been occasioned in the public mind by the Prime Minister's origi- nal statements, particularly by quoted remarks us- 'ed out of their context- Nevertheless, public un- easiness still persists, particularly in view of rumors of o rift in the United Party over the lame. There ls also talk of the possible re- signation of the two members of the Cabinet who do not speak Afrikaans-Mn Stuttaforrl, Minister of the Interior. and Mr. Sturroclr,
